ELARA'S P.O.V.

I wanted to back away, to put some space between us, but there was nowhere to go.

Lucien stood over me, my breasts brushing against his chest with each breath.

I was in the arms of a Reaper.

My foot had barely lifted front the ground to step away when he planted his palm against the wall above my head, trapping me.

My wolf was purring with pleasure, perking up even more as he cornered us. She had always loved the hunt and being chased.

We both did, but while I was terrif

    ELARA’S P.O.V.The great hall was louder than I had ever heard it.Laughter bounced off stone walls, glasses clinked together, and the long tables were overflowing with food and drinks as the pack celebrated.My parents sat near the center among the warriors, right next to Thorne. Sarah was wedged between them, her face still blotchy from crying. She hadn’t stopped touching them, holding their hands, gripping their sleeves, as if afraid they would vanish if she let go.I was too, but I had been guided to the head table… a place I no longer belonged. I glanced across the room where Lucien stood with a glass in his hand, smiling and laughing with Braden as if he didn’t have a care in the world, until his eyes met mine. Then I would see the flicker of something unsettling. Without our bond to tell me what he was feeling, I didn’t stand a chance of knowing what he was thinking. He could have been thrilled by our new situation, and I had no way to know until I could get him alone tonigh

    ELARA’S P.O.V.Walking through the pack house felt different. It wasn’t because my parents had returned from the dead or the newfound lightness in my chest. The air felt cleaner, the shadows softer, and the lights brighter.It felt as if life had returned to the house.My parents walked on either side of me, their shoulders brushing mine occasionally as if they, too, were afraid this might dissolve into a dream.Lucien walked ahead of us, silent and powerful, but even his shoulders weren’t as tense as they used to be. At the bottom of the stairs, I paused as the front doors were thrown open and a familiar and very tired-looking old man rushed in. His silver hair was disheveled from his patrol shifts, but his eyes were bright with excitement, widening the moment they landed on my parents. “Tom,” Thorne breathed, rushing forward to hug my father. My father smiled, clasping his hand on the man’s back. “Thorne.”“You stubborn bastard,” Thorne muttered thickly. “You always said I was

    ELARA’S P.O.V.The steady thrumming of my heart beat was the only sound in the empty void as I ran through the darkness. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find him, but I knew I needed to. Lucien’s voice was like a faint whisper, teasing me, calling to me. So, I chased it deeper, trying to find my way back to him, but I was stuck.I wasn’t sure how I had gotten here, trapped in the darkness, but I knew I had to get out. Each beat of my heart felt like the clicking of a clock, counting down to my end. I could only remember pain.A tremble moved through my fingers as I kept my hands up in front of me, hoping I would find something but terrified of what it would be. Then my legs began to tingle, and I paused, looking from side to side into the nothingness around me, trying to listen for his voice.“Elara,” Lucien’s voice was muffled, still far away, but a sudden and unexpected warmth on my cheek made my hand fly to it. My fingers only met my skin, but despite the undeniable evid

    HERA’S P.O.V.I paced as we waited, unable to stand still. Something was wrong, I could feel it in my bones. My wolf grew more agitated as the silent forest became darker.It felt like even the trees were holding their breath, waiting to see if Lucien and Elara would come back out.Braden shifted, stepping out of formation for the first time since we arrived, and I stopped, turning to face him. "What? What is it?" I asked as he scanned our surroundings. I couldn’t feel anything close, but he seemed to sense something that I didn't. "They're retreating from the border," He said, though he sounded confused, like it wasn't right. "That's a good thing, though, right?" I asked, spinning to face the pond. For a long moment, I watched it, sensing something was off, but I wasn't able to place my finger on it. As I approached, the low waves stopped rolling, and I was finally able to see that the once glossy surface was cloudy, turning it grey. Braden stood beside me, shoulders tense, a

    LUCIEN’S P.O.V. I slammed into him mid-lunge, knocking him sideways before his claws could reach Elara’s throat. We crashed to the floor, rolling further away from Elara. My shoulder hit the stones, then my hip, but I didn’t let go. I wrapped my arm around his torso and drove my claws into his side, dragging him with me as we skidded to a stop against the far wall, fighting to keep him as far away from her as I could. He moved faster than any reaper I had ever faced… faster than I had ever been able to move. His hand snapped around my throat, fingers digging into muscle with crushing strength, and he drove me further backward into the stone. “You dare to attack me?!” he hissed with astonishment. I bared my teeth and slammed my forehead into his face, making him loosen his grip. The sound of his nose crunching encouraged me on, and I kicked him back before lunging. My shoulder collided with his stomach as I took him to the ground again. My claws sliced through his chest, barely

    LUCIEN’S P.O.V.The world around me slowed as the news shocked me. Elara had killed reapers?“She was furious, demanding you back, and….” Jax paused, and I knew I wasn’t going to like what he said next. “She hit them with a blast and took the souls they had reaped. They died instantly.” No! She couldn’t! She couldn’t hold another soul not unless… Not for the first time, I cursed myself for ever letting her enter the darkness. I should have just thrown her back, tossed her back to her old pack, and let her live her life without being tainted by Death or by me. If this were a curse she would have to carry for the rest of her life, she would one day wake to resent me, and I wouldn’t blame her for it. I would resent me, too.Before me, she was light. She wanted the good in the world and was still full of hope even after everything she had been through. Now she has killed multiple people, and she might not ever be the same.A shark tug through the bond pulled me back to the present. I
